Touchpad suddenly ignores option to disable it

[Roadhog360]

I use a laptop but almost always have the touchpad disabled since I have an external mouse anyways. I recently updated my system, but my touchpad was still disabled at the time so that system update didn’t cause this. I turned on my PC and suddenly after no further updates, my touchpad is on, and ignoring the fact I turned if off in settings. The “device enabled” field is clearly unticked but it is enabled anyways. This is irritating because like most laptops, the touchpad is annoyingly played under the keyboard instead of beside or above it, and what’s worse is it lacks any sort of palm rejection, so I keep “palming” the darn thing.

Not sure what information to provide, but hopefully I can get started with this: Asus ROG Strix Hero II laptop

Read this
In my case:

xinput list-props 11 | head -n5
Device 'Elan Touchpad':
        Device Enabled (179):   1

xinput set-prop 11 179 0

This command you sent me only displays info about my power button, apparently.

Device 'Power Button':
        Device Enabled (189):   1
        Coordinate Transformation Matrix (191): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000
        libinput Rotation Angle (300):  0.000000
        libinput Rotation Angle Default (301):  0.000000

Anyways the issue suddenly stopped, somehow. I’ll report back here if the issue returns.
